Home Again....

Well, after 6 weeks away…..we decided to come home over the weekend. 

If you have been following my blog since the beginning you may remember that my mom has been battling cancer since 2008.  She has dealt with it spreading to the lungs and then the brain back in 2010…..she had surgery the week Harry was born and STILL made it to the hospital for his birth.  She is amazing to say the least.  Well, after surgeries, radiation, chemo, etc. she has finally decided that she has done all she can do to fight this.  So, she is using her time to spend with family and friends and enjoy life.  She really is a true inspiration and the weeks I spent in Virginia with her were precious…..and we’ll likely go back as much as we can (and as much as my parents will allow as it was quite ”energetic” around the house with my two kiddos in tow) in the months ahead.

Thanks to all of you who flooded my inbox with emails and words of support.  Even when I didn’t have the time to personally respond, I appreciated your words and thought more than you know.  Please bear with me as I get myself back up to speed here at home.  Stacks of mail, appointments with my web designer, overdue trips to the design center for VERY patient clients, etc. and I am feeling slightly overwhelmed.  I am hoping that I’ll be back to “normal” by the weekend and will start real blogging again.

Until then, I am going to try to list some new fabrics I got in and focus on the behind the scenes of my business as I am in the middle of changing some things around here.  And, of course, I plan enjoy these last weeks of summer with my kiddos who are number one in my book!

I’ll be back soon!

Hinson's Fireworks Wallpaper Again....

If you have been reading my blog for any length of time you know I love this paper.  In fact, when it was still represented through Brunschwig & Fils (now it is available via Donghia) I did a blog campaign to get enough orders to meet the minimum to get the mill to print it when it was out of stock.  I am still known as “the blog girl” in the showroom after that!

And of course, the paper is being used in Maddie’s bedroom….

And on her bathroom ceiling.

Earlier this week there was a Kate Spade sale over on Gilt that featured a room with the paper…..

 
The paper has gone up a fair bit in price (priced at slightly over $80 a roll) but it is readily available these days.

Do you love it like I do?

Reader Request: Pillow Fabric????

One of my readers, Kelly, emailed me a photo of a pillow she loves.  The fabric apparently comes in a number of colorways.  Since I am still out of town I don’t have the bandwidth to take on research projects at the moment.  So, I thought I’d see if you all could help Kelly out.

 
Any idea?

No matter how many I see, I never tire of a grey and white kitchen.

I am short on words today.

Here is a little collection of images that make me smile.

Hope you have a happy Monday.
